Gorgeous Tulip LucS !  The pink tinge on the outside of the petals makes it even more attractive !

Gorgeous tulipa Luc! Is is fragrant?  I find that many tulipa species has delightful fragrance (like polychroma does).

No fragrance Mark.

In that case, you might want to discard your plant, I'm happy to help you out with the process  ;D

More tulips from Belgium !  :D

1 & 2  Tulipa 'Showwinner' - an old cultivar but always the first to open in the garden !
3 & 4 Tulipa pulchella violacea - not rare at all but flowering reliably each year
5 & 6 Tulipa hissarica - from Tajikistan - a real dwarf - hardly 5 cm high !

Luc,
is Tulipa 'Showwinner' a T. greigii-cultivar? Think so, because of the stripes on the foliage.

Great stuff Luc 8) 
Under glass I find that hissarica flowers before the scape extends, & soon goes over while still buried within the sheaf of leaves :-\ 
Next year I must try it outside instead.

Thanks for the compliments everyone...

Ulli,
Obviously I agree with the opinion of a Dutch specialist !!!

Luit,
I know that it must sound odd to a Dutchman to read "Tulips from Belgium"   ;D ;D - but at least they GROW here...  ;)

Ashley,
Hissarica does have this unfortunate habit !  Even outside, in a less cold Winter than this one, it has flowered when hardly above ground.
So a real Winter is what it likes best !!
